The Jones patterns are the planetary arrangements first described by the astrologer
Marc Edmund Jones, such as the locomotive pattern and the bucket pattern.JUBILATRIX
Jubilatrix, asteroid 652 (the 652nd asteroid to be discovered, on November 4, 1907),
is approximately 15 kilometers in diameter and has an orbital period of 4.1 years. Its
Latin name means “woman who rejoices.” It was named for the 60th Jubilee Year reign
of Austrian emperor Franz Joseph. In a natal chart, Jubilatrix’s location by sign and
house indicates where and how one is most likely to “rejoice.” When afflicted by
inharmonious aspects, Jubilatrix may indicate either the opposite of rejoicing or
rejoicing for the wrong reasons. If prominent in a natal chart (e.g., conjunct the Sun
or the ascendant), it may show an exceptionally joyful person.Sources:
